Livi the Ballerina!

So Livi started Ballet/Tap classes yesterday at Margueritte's. She was SO.EXCITED! She had on her little black leotard and pink tights and walked into a room full of 3 year old girls wearing the same thing! She did SO well standing in line, and walking into the classroom without us. She said she had a wonderful time and I'm hoping that it continues. :) Here's our little Princess....

In other news, we're doing a serious countdown to vaca time! We're leaving on the 20th so we have one more weekend to get through before we leave! WOW! I went and got my hair done this past week (now a RED head!) and I started tanning. I only went twice so far, and I'm fried. Like beat red thighs and belly, throbbing constantly. ::sigh:: oh well it's for the greater good right? I know I can't lose 60 pounds in the next two weeks, but maybe I can get some color on my skin!

Bohdi got into the garbage last night. All.over.the.kitchen. ARGH! Then, just to make his point known, he threw up several times throughout the garbage mess as well. Niiccceee.

Last Tuesday (closed Monday for Labor Day) was Livis' first official day of Preschool! YAY! Of course really nothing changed since she was in the program from January through June of this year, but this time it was "official". I can't believe how fast she's growing up! She's such a smart little girl too, it's amazing :heart:

Waldameer

So we went to the banks Waldameer picnic yesterday. Myself, Mom, Livi and Mason. I was hoping for a nice, cool, breezy, day, but nope....it had to be a billion degrees and muggy. Great. Mike and Dad were out golfing so it was just us to fend for ourselves. They had it in the Rainbow Gardens building like last year, which just condenses the heat more. BUT they had beer so it was ok ;)
Livi and Mason absolutely LOVED it! They went on so many rides, and the plus side was the kid rides didn't have a mile long line attatched to them...in many cases they would get off, and get right back on again, yay! So we stayed for several hours...well, until most of us were a puddle of sweaty goo, lol. Being out in the sun walking around just sucks they life out of you! All in all, it was fun!

Relay for Life Walk

This morning was the Relay for Life walk up at the McDowell track....at 6am! I woke Calley up when I called her at 5:40 and grabbed us each a coffee for our early morning rise and shine. And it honestly was pretty fun! Amy joined us at 7, and the three of us ended up leaving at 8 once our 'tagoffs' came in to relieve us. It rained last night so we brought umbrellas, but never did need them. They had several tents set up around the track offering refreshments for donations, and even had a DJ there to keep the spirit up! And even though it really was not fun waking up so early on a Sunday, it was nice to get out in the morning air and before it got too hot. Plus it made the day seem much longer! Next year we decided to go as a family...Livi will love it!

Surprise!

We finally built the swingset we've been talking about getting for a year now, yay!!! AND we did it almost primarily by ourselves ( a little help from Mike S at the end ) ...it only took us 8 hours, lol! Livi went over to Nana and Paps while we built it and then brought her home to surprise her with it :) SHE LOVED IT!!! I still have to upload the pics though...it looks so nice!

Blech.

I have found that blech is the most overused word in my written vocabulary lately. Hmmmm. Really no reason why, it just is. Whatever I suppose ;)

It's so hot and miserable out. Extremely hot and miserable actually. I hate this weather. Blech. Mike and Livi went over to Steve and Andi's to swim. No way this whale is getting in, lol. But it's been a stressful week for me and I just feel blah and not too well so I decided to stay in and relax tonight. I might actually even go to bed early. Yes, I will try.

We got our subs and pretzel sandwiches today from daycare. I had kind of high expectations, and they were pretty, well, blech. I hope I'm the only one who feels that way though. I don't want people to be unhappy with them!

Boring day, boring blog. I'm getting into the fall shopping mood and it's not going to be good on my wallet! Time to push for that raise I suppose....
